I'm thinking PC gamers (such as myself) might not see this back on the GFWL Marketplace until next week.

I think I got the achievements but I dont think it's adding the points to my gamerscore.
Anyway I'm digging broken steel. I love the new hellfire armor it looks fucking bad ass. I think they increased the difficulty though. I play on hard and I swear I'm taking more damage and enemies must have more HP because the plasma rifle and metal blaster (laser rifle/shottie from the pitt) arent doing as much damage as they used to do.
It dont really matter since I got like 150 stimpaks and fawkes but I'd like to know. Don't tell me the enemies scale to my level? lol
anyway leveling up is not that tough you get like 62 xp per kill. I got the perk where you get the sleeping at home xp bonus on any bed so that's helping a bit.
I'm looking forward to starting a new character because I pretty much had done everything before the level cap was raised. Shit even deathclaws are taking 3-4 hits from my alien blaster now. It's wild.

Doesn't this third DLC increase the level cap by 30? If so, I can't see why you would.

Could someone clarify this finishing-the-game business to me? I completed the game yesterday with close to L17.
It seems I can't use the "Continue" option to do missions, but instead I'll need to load up my last manual save, at the Citadel and start doing quests from before completing the game.
Is this the only way to do all the quests - not complete the game?
In terms of DLC, at which point should I then complete the game?

Finding ways to level up outside quests isn't that hard .

Put it on hard. Go to old olney and kill deathclaws. Each broken steel quest, I've only done 2, gives like 1400 xp or so.
Guess I should stop being a pussy and put it on very hard.
I'll prolly do a new character and be good, then switch to evil for the achievements. On my first play thru I started off as a terrible person, then I realized the error of my ways and became a good guy.

Made an agreement with another GAF member, refused to honor it because he was broke, but then had no problem continuing to buy video games.

Yeah I think starting a new character in very hard is the way to go. I really doubt puttin it on very hard will be enough t oget level 30 just with BS

I just enjoy the combat a lot and using my big guns. I dont mind walking around and killin' folks until I level up.
The advantage of starting a new game is that you get the whole game (lol) from the beginning as opposed to this shit they've put us through. 90 dollars for the whole game and I had to wait 7 months! thanks M$!!!

yeah, you won't go over and have it be something like 1300/1200. When it happened to me on the pitt after I got a pitt achievement all pitt achievements were there air.

So I've downloaded the DLC but haven't done the quest yet due to the achievement glitches.
But I'm wondering the wasteland...and I just encountered two albino radscorpions fighting a new enclave hellfire soldier.
When the two albino radscorpions killed him and started to turn their attention towards me...nearly shat myself. Their HP is HUGE.

For those who have started the actual Broken Steel main quests, did the Wasteland change much as stated by Bethesda in the previews? I'm referring to the physical appearance of the wasteland because it's supposed to be
. Or is it just the same old Wasteland as before?
affected (improved?) by fresh water now being available

I can't believe how disappointed I am with the new perks. Pretty much every character will probably end up the same. I was hoping for something like increased range for melee/unarmed VATS attacks. Accuracy boost for long range VATS sniping. Mysterious Stranger gets a Fatboy. Paralyzing Palm gets an upgrade and kills instantly instead of paralyzing.
There's so much they could have done but we get stupid shit. They probably should have raised the skill cap to 150 too.

So it is confirmed that if you install/download this and start getting achievements, that the gamerpoitns will show up later when MS syncs the servers?

3 dog talks about fresh water coming soon to you thanks to proejct purity succeeding. Also you'll run into these bottled waters called aqua pura. It's like an aquafina bottle or something. I havnt noticed any other changers other than the occasional hellfire enclave soldiers. They have different armor and use this super flame thrower gun. It seems to break after I kill them so I havnt gotten to use it. I've only done 2 of the quests for broken steel though. I'm just wandering around trying to level up with my homie fawkes.
It's not a gtaIV TLAD type reskin from what I've seen so far.

There's a few differences I've noticed, I encounter Brahmin carrying the water on their back now. There's also a few sidequests, when I went to the underworld there's a ghoul trying to sell water and it starts a quest I didn't do much yet with.
I think there's a few different flamethrowers now, and there's a new type of radscorprion, feral ghoul, super mutant, enclave, etc. which all make the game harder.

Thanks burgerdog. I'm now 18, so I'll probably try and get two more levels before I'll get Broken Steel. And to think I'm renting the game!

I read in the wiki that it lost its automatic fire. That sucks.

Just started again since the level uncap happened. I get the feeling that I'm going to be running out of useful perks pretty quickly. Enjoying the pitt so far. I may take this as an opportunity to beef some of my already 8 or 9 SPECIALS up to 10 before I hit level 30 and "almost perfect".

I guess this is a bad time to gloat about having the glitched Operation Anchorage weapons.

I have a question regarding returning to an area in Broken Steel, spoiler tagged just in case:
After you take the Vertibird back to the Citadel to finish the last mission, can you return to the Air Base? There was a marker on my radar there that i didn't go to, and by the time i realised i hadn't been there i was on top watching the orbital strike and couldn't go back. I was planning on going back and seeing what it is, but don' want to go all the way back through the underground just to find out its inaccessible.
